They taste like the (insecure) lovechild of a McDonald's apple pie and a 7-Eleven taquito. The mouthfeel is akin to gnawing on a mealy onion ring, albeit one with a buttery, cinnamon scent.
Here's another fun fact: along with cheese sticks and crab rangoon, some restaurateurs report that apple sticks are among the most popular takeout items.
